The EMGO+ institute has a number of institute specific resources that strongly facilitate scientific integrity and the quality of all phases of research, including study design, data collection, data analysis and reporting. It is clearly recognized that our role is to provide an environment that encourages good conduct in research and discourages misconduct, and to provide tools that maximize high quality research. However, as the institute directorate has no formal role in the governance of research personnel, the responsibility for actual behavior remains with the department heads.

In this annual report we present with pride and pleasure the core information about who we are, what we do, what we strive for, and what we have accomplished. You will find the information organized in a largely similar way as in 2015. This reflects the standardization and harmonization of the annual report cycle across all VU University / VU University Medical Center research institutes, using the new Standard Evaluation Protocol (SEP) 2015-2021 of the Association of Universities in the Netherlands (VSNU), the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), and the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) as the main guideline.

We hope you will enjoy reading this report!

Quality of our research

Welcome, you have reached the website of the EMGO⁺/Amsterdam Public Health research institute.

The EMGO+ research institute has fully merged its research activities into the Amsterdam Public Health research institute (APH), a multidisciplinary institute where researchers of Amsterdam UMC, VU Amsterdam and the University of Amsterdam unite.
Please visit the APH website for all the ongoing research activities and up to date information.
The EMGO⁺ website will remain accessible and our project and personal pages will remain hosted at the EMGO⁺ server until a full migration towards the
APH website has been realized, or until alternative applications for e.g. personal pages can be offered.
If you have any questions please e-mail to: amsterdampublichealth@vumc.nl

From now onwards all our EMGO⁺ activities are part of APH. At the same time we will in 2017 also complete all going concern within the EMGO⁺ Institute.Hence the EMGO⁺ website will remain accessible and our project EMGO⁺/APH database and personal pages will remain hosted at the EMGO⁺ server until a full migration towards the APH website has been materialized.
